Estaing, Comte d' (1729‒1794)

Estaing, Comte d', a French admiral, “one of the bravest of men,”
fought against the English in the Indies and in America; winced as a
Royalist at the outbreak of the French Revolution; his loyalty to royalty
outweighed, it was thought, his loyalty to his country, and he was
guillotined (1729‒1794).
